Seattle shooting suspect makes first court appearance

A man suspected of shooting a man Friday near Denny Way is being held on $100,000 bail, and the girlfriend of the suspect alleged the meeting was a heroin deal.

Police were called to Harborview Medical Center about 10:45 p.m. where a man reported he was shot during an attempted robbery at the Colwell Apartments, in the 100 block of Yale Avenue North.

The victim said he was confronted by the 49-year-old suspect, who demanded money. The man grabbed a kitchen knife from his car, and stabbed the suspect holding a black handgun. The blade bent during the incident, and the suspected allegedly shot once through the passenger window of the parked car and hit the victim in the buttocks.
